Which way is up?
This post was inspired by a post on ProBlogger, How Cancer Changed My Life, by Karl Staib. I highly recommend reading it, great inspirational story.
Do you know which way is up? It sounds like a trick question; and it is.
It seems like an easy question, but the answer seems to puzzle many people. They find themselves suspended in the middle of nowhere, where directions become meaningless: right is left, left is down, down is up, up is right, and it goes on. It's kind of like being an astronaut in space, you lose a sense of direction.
I've been overwhelmed with projects lately, business and school. I don't really know when to stop. My high school psychology teacher was right one morning as we walked to school,"Viktor, you need to learn how to turn your brain off from time to time." Six years later and I still don't know how to do it, but this is not about that.
The problem
Recently, I have come to a realization why I had issues with photographing people. In the fall of 2010, I began photographing people primarily as I switched to photojournalism major. There was a clear change in my photographs: they weren't as good as I can do. The problem was, I didn't know why.
Sometimes it takes a miserable failure to realize what your fears are; or, rather, accept them.
Two weeks ago, I failed miserably on a shooting assignment for my photojournalism class. I hit the bottom, finally. It was an eye-opener to what was the underlying problem for quite some time, I think as far back as high school. Yet, I never paid attention to it. The problem? I'm afraid to talk to strangers.
That's the last thing people who know me would ever expect from me. I'm very outgoing and social, but not when it comes to strangers.
Sometimes you have to hit the bottom to know which way is up.
This is my personal wisdom on failure. Clearly, I lived up to it. I know which way is up, I know what I have to work on now.
Admit it
The hardest thing was admitting I had a problem. I sat, shaking, in front of my professors door; waiting for him to show up. It was one of the hardest things I've done in my entire life. It was harder than four years I served in the US Navy, that was a breeze compared to admitting weakness. This was the only way to start working on it, really working on it.
If you do have a fear of something, it doesn't matter how small or ridiculous (so you might think) it is, admit it to someone other than yourself. A friend or family member is great. If your fear affects your work somehow, admit it to your boss. He or she should understand that we're all humans with fears. It takes so much weight off your shoulders you will feel like a different person.
The solution
I don't have an answer, yet. The advice is to "just do it." Yes, easy to say not so easy to do. I clearly can't "just do it." I think the best way is to take baby steps. The hardest part for me is to engage a stranger, not keeping conversation going. So, my "up" direction is to start conversations with strangers I have to engage regularly as part of my daily life. Cashiers would be the perfect example. I have to engage them, so why not have some small talk instead of silence?
One thing my professor recommended is to engage people on the bus in small talk. The first step, he said, is to sit next to people you perceive to be more open to small talk and try to engage them. The second step, is to sit in the front row of the bus where you don't have any control of who sits next to you and engage them. Got my bus pass, just need to find time to do it. Great advice.
Hitting the bottom helped me figure out which way is up. Sometimes that's the only way to be able to propel yourself up.
What's your fear? What are you struggling with right now? Tell me your story of hitting the bottom. Share in comments section. Would love to hear them. If you have a blog post about your personal failures and struggle, include a link in your comment. I'll add these links to the post here for others to read.

[…] I had to deal with one of my fears (that I thought I didn't have) that hindered my photography. I admitted I had a problem, and […]
Viktor…I feel you
I would add that learning to stop, instead of fighting th urge to "do something" can help you gain the perspective you need to make the right move. My mom taught me how to be comfortable with silence. She said: "You can learn much more about everything by allowing silence to happen"
It really helped me get out of the habit of trying to fix things before I really knew what was broken, we fight so much to never hit rock bottom, that we deny ourselves the value and perspective of knowing which way is up, and left, and right.
Smooth blog Viktor, glad to have read it. Stay cool man.
Hey Elijah,
Thanks for great advice. Yes, silence speaks volumes. We need to learn to listen to it, not only break it. It's a great mentor, but in the age of iPods people tend to not listen to silence because they replace it with headphones and music. Sometimes you need to take them off and hear your environment, a busy subway in NYC, ambient sound of your office, construction workers outside.

No matter what the age, everyone has dreams -- some big, some small. For most of the residents at Cedar Village, it is the small things in life that make the biggest difference.
Recently, we had a Russian resident who wanted a new guitar. Another resident requested to have his violin repaired. When our music therapist, Jude Jones made us aware of these needs, we provided the financial means to complete the repairs through our "Making Dreams Come True" Fund. Both musicians were grateful for the helping hand.
Your support makes a difference. Thank you for helping us to grant wishes for our residents.

This is the first book to give complete insight into the biochemistry of blood coagulation, and demonstrates how this field provides important contributions to fundamental biochemistry, such as enzyme kinetics, lipid-protein interactions, oxidative carboxylation, and cell receptors. The book will be of interest both to biochemists and molecular biologists who want to gain insight into the process of blood coagulation, as well as to those already working in the field of blood coagulation who desire to broaden their insight into its molecular aspects.View full description

One of the longest running and most popular of all television westerns, Bonanza was both an action/adventure classic and family drama. For fourteen seasons, audiences enthusiastically tuned in to see the High-Sierra adventures of the Cartwright clan. Nestled amongst the pines above the shores of Lake Tahoe is the Ponderosa ranch, the thousand-acre home of Ben Cartwrignt and his sons, Adam, Hoss and Joe (aka "Little Joe.") Plots featuring revolving cast of interesting guest players helped to set Bonanza apart from the usual gun-slinging formula Westerns of the day.

[0001] This invention relates in general to managing computer files and objects in a computer system, and more particularly relates to management of co-requisite files being manipulated by a computer system.
[0002] It is common to have digital files stored and used within a computer system that are inter-dependent such that the computer system requires all of the inter-dependent files when implementing a function or executing an operation. Often these various files have different data types or formats that make it cumbersome or impossible to merge into a single file. A prime example of inter-dependent files can be found in the composition of web page files used for viewing content on the Internet, and particularly the World Wide Web, which is the Internet's multimedia information retrieval system.
[0003] In the Web environment, client machines effect transactions to Web servers using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), which is a known application protocol providing users access to files (e.g., text, graphics, images, sound, video, etc.) using a standard page description language known as Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). HTML along with Extended Markup Language ("XML") and others are members of a family of computer languages referred to as "markup languages". Markup languages are computer languages that define the format of a text document in a device-independent way. A primary purpose of a markup language, such as HTML, is to instruct a Web browser how to display the contents of the document, including text, images and other support media.
[0004] An "HTML document" is a special type of that includes HTML codes to permit the document to be viewed using a Web browser program. An HTML document that is accessible on a World Wide Web site is commonly referred to as a "Web document" or "Web page." Web pages commonly include embedded components, such as GIF (Graphics Interchange Format), JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) and BMP (Bit-Mapped Graphics) files, which are represented within the HTML coding as directory paths within the server memory system or as a network path using Uniform Resource Locators (URL) to provide a reference to the required file.
[0005] As a result, when an HTML file is to be transferred between storage devices, computers or networks, the co-requisite files referenced within the HTML coding, for example, a graphic image, often must be transported along with the HTML file in order for the Web page to be properly rendered when accessed at its destination. Unfortunately, existing computer systems require the system user to remember or have knowledge of the relationship between the particular HTML file being transferred and its set of co-requisite files so that all files necessary to render the Web page are transferred, moved, copied or emailed to the destination. The problem is further complicated when the co-requisite files may not reside in the same directory as the HTML file. An alternative is to insert URL links into the HTML code so that the Web page is dynamically generated at the which uses the path information identifying the location of the linked page or object to download the image file into the Web page. However, client may not have an Internet connection to access the URL, the object content may have been moved to a different host server location, or the hosting server may no longer support the object content altogether. Consequently, what is needed is a method and system that automatically transports all co-requisite files when a related file is transported or copied to a different location within a computer or network system.
[0006] In accordance with the present invention, a method, system and program product for managing objects in a data processing system is provided in accordance with the present invention. The objects are managed by accessing one or more extended attribute fields within an object, in response to an action being initiated on the object; determining if any co-requisite objects that are related to the object are identified in an accessed extended attribute field within the object; and performing the action on co-requisite objects identified in the accessed extended attribute field within the object. In an alternative embodiment, the process includes determining if an extended attribute field within the object indicates that the relationship between a co-requisite object identified in the accessed extended attribute field within the object and the object is that of the object as a parent and the co-requisite object as a child to the object; and performing the action on co-requisite objects identified in the accessed extended attribute field within the object as a child to the object. In an alternative embodiment, the process includes, for each co-requisite object identified in the accessed extended attribute field within the object, determining if an extended attribute field within the object indicates that only specified actions can be performed on a co-requisite object identified in the accessed extended attribute field within the object; and performing the action on those co-requisite objects identified in an accessed extended attribute field within the object where an extended attribute field within the object indicates that the action is a specified action that can be performed on the given co-requisite object.

[0010]FIG. 4 is a simplified flow diagram of a process for creating a relationship table within an attribute table of a system file, in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention;
[0011]FIG. 5 is a flow diagram of a process for utilizing a relationship table and associated attributes of a system file to manage co-requisite files within a computer system, in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention.
[0012] A computer system can be considered as three major components: (1) the application programs, such as a spreadsheet or word processing or graphics presentation application, which are used by the user; (2) the operating system that transparently manages the application's interactions with other applications and the computer hardware; and (3) the computer hardware comprising the processor, the random access memories, the actual electronic components which manage the digital bits. The operating system has a kernel which, inter alia, controls the execution of applications, processes, and/or objects by allowing their creation, termination or suspension, and communication; schedules processes/objects of the same or different applications on the hardware, allocates memory for those objects, administers free space, controls access to the objects, and retrieves objects and data for the user. The term object is used herein to at least include a named storage space having a set of characteristics that describes itself and, in some cases, includes data. More broadly, an object is anything that exists in and occupies space in storage and on which operations can be performed, for example, programs, files, libraries, directories, and folders.
[0013] The system for managing files within the computer system is called the file system. All file systems require the use of an Object Attribute Table (OAT). The OAT stores attribute information for each object linked into the file system. Attributes include information such as time stamps, the number of links, object size, owner identifier, object type, access permissions, etc. Many file systems, for instance that which is part of the UNIX operating system, implement a single OAT, called an inode list in UNIX, for the entire file system. The inode list maintains the state of the file system. Administrators specify the size of the inode list when configuring a file system. In UNIX, the internal representation of a file or object is an inode (a contraction of the term index node). The inode contains a description of the disk layout of the file data and other information, e.g., such as the file owner, access permissions, and access times. Every file has one inode but may have several names all of which map into the inode. When a process refers to a file by name, the kernel parses the file name along its hierarchical path one component at a time, checks that the process has permission to search the directories in the path, and eventually retrieves the inode for the file.
[0014] Referring now to the drawings, wherein like numbers denote like parts throughout the several views, FIG. 1 shows a high-level block diagram of a digital processing system 100, which may be a high-level computer system, consistent with an embodiment of the invention. Digital processing system 100 may comprise central processing unit (CPU) 101, which may be a programmable processor, executing instructions stored in memory 102. While a single CPU is shown in FIG. 1, it should be understood that computer systems having multiple CPUs could be used. Connected to the CPU 101 through an internal bus 105 and/or an external system bus 130 is memory 102. Memory 102 is a random-access semiconductor memory for storing data and programs; thus, the system memory is shown conceptually as a single monolithic entity but it is well known that system memory is often arranged in a hierarchy of caches and other memory devices. Memory 102 contains at least an operating system having a kernel 120 and applications 122. Kernel 120 provides, inter alia, functions such as device interfaces, management of memory pages, management of multiple tasks, etc. as is known in the art. CPU 101 is suitably programmed to execute the kernel 120 and instructions of applications 122 retrieved from memory 102. Memory 102 has the necessary elements to carry out the preferred embodiment by having object attribute tables as described below. Applications 122 may include a server software application, and if so, network interface 160 may interact with the server software application 122 to enable digital processing or computer system 100 to be a network server.
[0015] Communication bus 130 supports transfer of data, commands and other information between different devices; while shown in simplified form as a single bus, it may be structured as multiple buses, and may be arranged in a hierarchical form. Display adapter 132 supports video display 134 which may be a cathode-ray tube display, a flat panel display, or a touch panel, although other display technologies may be used. Keyboard/pointer adapter 136 supports keyboard 138 and pointing device 140 depicted as a mouse, it being understood that other forms of input devices could be used. Storage adapter 142 supports one or more data storage devices 144 which may be rotating magnetic hard disk drives or CD-ROM drives although other data storage devices could be used. Printer adapter 146 supports printer 148. Adapter 150 may connect a wide variety of devices to the digital processing or computer system 100 and to other adapters connected to other devices such as, but not limited to, speakers, audio and visual equipment, tape drives, optical drives, printers, disk controllers, other bus adapters, PCI adapters, workstations using one or more protocols including, but not limited to, Token Ring, Gigabyte Ethernet, Ethernet, Fibre Channel, SSA, Fiber Channel Arbitrated Loop (FCAL), Ultra3 SCSI, Infiniband, FDDI, ATM, 1394, ESCON, wireless relays, USB, Twinax, LAN connections, WAN connections, high performance graphics, etc., as is known in the art. Network interface 160 provides a physical interface to a network, such as the Internet. This interface may comprise a modem connected to a telephone line through which an Internet access provider or online service provider is reached, but increasingly other higher bandwidth interfaces are implemented. For example, digital processing or computer system 100 may be connected to another network server via a local area network using an Ethernet, Token Ring, or other protocol, the second network server in turn being connected to the Internet. Alternatively, network interface 160 may be provided through cable television, fiber optics, satellites, wireless, or other connections. The representation of FIG. 1 is intended as an exemplary simplified representation of a high-end server, it being understood that in other digital processing systems 100 variations in system configuration are possible in addition to those mentioned here.
[0016] Finally, digital processing system 100 need not be a computer at all, but may be a simpler appliance-like client device, also called an embedded device, having less processing power and memory such as a network terminal, a thin client, a terminal-like device, a voice response unit, etc. The convergence of computing, telecommunications and consumer electronics is causing a tremendous growth in the number and variety of pervasive mobile devices as clients. This mobile architecture enables the multitude of clients including laptops, sub-notebooks, handheld computers such as personal digital assistants and companion devices, and mobile appliances such as smartphones, pagers, simple messaging devices and wearable devices. Thus, when the digital processing system 100 is a mobile or an embedded device, the adapters 150 and network interfaces 160 support a variety of multi-modal interfaces including traditional keyboard and mouse interfaces, small text screens, pen, touch screens, speech recognition, text-to-speech and other emerging technologies like wearable devices. Such special-purpose devices for accessing the world wide web, such as an Internet access box for a television set, or a portable wireless web accessing device, which can implement an adapter for the purpose of communicating data to/from another computer system are also intended to be within the scope of a digital processing system 100.
[0017] As will be described in detail below, aspects of the preferred embodiment pertain to a specific method or process having steps implementable on a digital processing system 100. The digital processing system 100 herein has a file system that has sufficient machine functions to implement a user or program interface, and which can maintain directories of objects and attributes of those objects. The file system of the digital processing system 100 utilizes the directories and an Object Attribute Table (OAT) to provide a logical grouping of the computer's files and is manipulated by the user by means of a user interface or a program by means of an application program interface. The code to manipulate the OAT may be part of the kernel or other application. The OAT, its entries, the links, and pointers are all managed by code which interacts integrally with the operating system. In the sense used herein, the term operating system need not be an extensive operating system for a high-end server but may also include a smaller operating system for appliance-like devices.
[0018]FIG. 2 is a graphical depiction of an inode table and its relationship to indexed files within the system storage of digital processing system 100, in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Inode table 202 contains multiple file entries 204, which each represent an object contained in the digital processing system 100 file system. Inode table 202 includes an extended attribute column 206, which provides the location in system storage 210 of an extended attribute table for each file 204. Inode table 202 also includes column 208 providing the physical location within system storage 210 of raw data 214 for each file 204. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the entry in column 206 for "File C" indicates the location of File C's external attributes table 212, and the physical location 208 indicates the location of File C's raw file data 214. Attribute table 212 is representative of all attribute tables used in the file system of digital processing system 100. System storage 210 contains multiple attribute tables 212 and raw data files 214 not shown in FIG. 2. Each attribute table 212 associated with a file 204 contains identifying attributes 216, which provide identifying information about the file, and a relationship table 218, which indicates the relationship between the associated file and any interdependent (also called co-requisite) files.
[0019] With reference now to FIG. 3, there is depicted a graphical representation of attribute table 212 within a file, in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The attributes 216 represent various identification attributes of the associated file, in this example File C. Such identification attributes of File C include its age, date created, name, permissions, size, type, etc. Also contained within extended attribute table 212 is the relationship table 218, which indicates the relationships between the original file and other files that are interdependent or co-requisite with the original file, and other control information associated with the co-requisite files.
[0020] The first column within relationship table 218 is column 220, which indicates certain of the co-requisite files for the file associated with attribute table 212. In this example, File C is shown to have two co-requisite files File A and File B. Column 230 in relationship table 218 indicates the relationship between the table's associated file and the co-requisite files 220. As provided in a preferred embodiment, the relationship between co-requisite files can be equal or can be parent-child. In the example of FIG. 3, File C is shown to be a "parent" of File B and a "child" of File A. When a relationship is equal, actions done to one file will also be done to the related file. When a relationship is considered parent-child, actions done to the parent automatically are performed on the child, but actions performed on a child are not performed on a parent. The last column 240 in relationship table 218 indicates the commands or actions that when perfomed on the associated file to relationship table 218 are permitted to be performed on a file indicated in column 230 to be a child to the original file. In other words, column 240 indicates the commands that will be performed on a co-requisite file that is a child of the associated file to the table when those commands are performed on the associated file. For the example of FIG. 3, since File C is a parent of File B, those commands listed in column 240 that are performed on File C will also be performed on File B by the digital processing system 100. FIG. 3 shows that the permitted commands for File B are the "copy," "move," and "remove" commands. Thus, if the operating system performs a "copy," "move," or "remove" operation on File C, it will also perform those operations on File B. Since File C is shown to be a "child" of File A, any operations performed on File C are not automatically performed on File A by the system of the preferred embodiment (although the system may automatically perform the operation on File A for other purposes not described).
[0021] With reference now to FIG. 4, there is shown a simplified flow diagram of a process for creating the relationship table within the attribute table of a system file, in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The process starts at step 402, when a user creates or opens a file for editing within the computer system. At step 404, the user initiates a command to save the file that was created or edited. At step 406, it is determined whether the user or system wants to create an interdependent relationship between the created or edited file and another file within the file system (as used herein, files with such an interdependency are called co-requisite files). If not, the process passes to step 408, where the contents of the file are saved to memory and the inode and attribute tables are updated. Thereafter, the process terminates at step 410.
[0022] Returning to step 406, if it is determined that the created or edited file is co-requisite with another file within the file system, the process proceeds to step 412, where the name of the co-requisite file is entered by the user or provided by the operating system. At step 414, the inode table is searched for the named file entered at step 412, and it is determined if the named file is found. If the file cannot be found in the inode table, the process proceeds to step 416, where an error message is generated, and thereafter the process returns to step 406.
[0023] If the file named at step 412 is found in the inode table, the process proceeds from step 414 to step 418, where a determination is made whether the named file at step 412 is a parent of the file being saved. If the determination at step 418 is that the named filed at step 412 is not a parent to the file being saved, the process proceeds to step 420, where the user or system is prompted to provide the system commands, operations or actions that can be performed on the file being created or edited that should also be performed on its co-requisite, child files. At step 422, the co-requisite file names are entered in column 220, the parent-child relationships are entered in column 230, and the permitted commands for the co-requisite files are entered in column 240 of relationship table 218 stored in association with the original file being created or edited. The process then proceeds to step 408, where the raw data contents of the original file are saved in system memory, the attribute table 214 is saved in system memory, and the inode table, including its associated attribute fields, is updated in system memory. The process then terminates at step 410.
[0024] Returning to decision block 418, if it is determined that the file named at step 412 is a parent to the current file being saved, the process proceeds to step 424, where the user or system is prompted to provide the system commands, operations or actions that can be performed on the file being created or edited when those commands, operations or actions are performed on its co-requisite parent files. The process then proceeds to step 426, where the co-requisite file name is entered in column 220, the child relationship to the co-requisite file is entered in column 230, and the permitted commands for application to the current file being saved when performed on the co-requisite file are entered in column 240 of relationship table 218 stored in association with the original file being saved. Further at step 426, the attribute table 212 of the parent file named at step 412 is also updated to reflect the co-requisite file currently being saved. The process then proceeds to step 408, where the raw data contents of the original file are saved in system memory, the attribute table 214 is saved in system memory, and the inode table 202, including its associated attribute fields, is updated in system memory. The process then terminates at step 410.
[0025] From the user experience perspective, the process for creating the attribute table and linking the various co-requisite files begins as part of a file being saved by the user. As part of the same process, a question is asked of the user if they wish to set up a requisite relationship with any other files. If so, the program would ask the user to list the co-requisite files and the type of relationship between the interdependent files, such as a parent-child relationship. The program then goes to each file and updates its extended attributes to reflect the interdependent relationship of other co-requisite files. In an alternative embodiment, a linking program can be executed by the user that allows the user to generate an attribute table and associated relationship table between two existing files.
[0026] Now referring to FIG. 5, there is shown a flow diagram of a process for utilizing the relationship table and associated attributes to manage co-requisite files within a computer system, in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention. The process starts at step 502, when an action is initiated by a user on a particular file containing an attribute table 212, as provided in the preferred embodiment of the present invention. At step 504, either an application executing on the computer system or the operating system (OS) for the computer system, opens the current file's extended attributes in the attribute table 212 to learn the particulars about the identity of the file and any relationships to co-requisite files. At step 506, the system determines whether the permissions listed in attributes 216 of attribute table 212 permit such an action to be initiated on the current file. If not, in some embodiments, the process issues an error message at step 508, and thereafter the process terminates at step 510. In alternative embodiments, the process may proceed directly to step 516, instead of step 510, when the action is not permitted on the parent, but it is desirable to still perform the action on appropriate co-requisite files of the current file. If the permissions do allow the action as indicated at step 506, the process proceeds to step 512, where the requested action is performed on the current file. At step 514, the acted-upon current file is listed in a "done list" that is created by the operating system within system memory to keep track of the implementation of actions performed on the original file and its co-requisite files.
[0027] At step 516 of FIG. 5, the relationship table 218 for the current file is read to determine the next file within column 230 indicated as a child of the current file. At step 518, a determination is made whether the child file read from the relationship table 218 for the current file is already listed in the "done list." If so, the process proceeds to step 524, where a determination is made whether there remains any child file listed within relationship table 218 for the current file that has not been read. If it is determined at step 518 that the child file is not on the "done list," the process proceeds to step 520, where it is determined whether the action is a permitted command for the child file, as indicated in column 240 of its relationship table 218. If not, the process proceeds to step 524, and if so, the process proceeds to step 522, where the child file name is added to a "next list" that is stored in memory to facilitate the process of the preferred embodiment. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step 524.
[0028] At step 524, a determination is made whether there remains any child file listed within relationship table 218 for the current file that has not been read. If the end of the relationship table has not been reached for the current file, the process returns to step 516, where the next child file in the relationship table for the current file is read. If the end of the relationship table has been reached for the current file, the process proceeds to step 526, where a next file entry in the "next list" is read from the system memory and it is designated as the "current file". The process proceeds to step 528, where a determination is made whether any files remained in the "next list" that have been designated the current file. If the end of the next list had been reached, the process proceeds to step 510 and terminates. If a next file in the next list has been designated the current file, the process returns to step 504 with the co-requisite file designated as the "current file", and thereafter the process proceeds to repeat the process on the "current file" until the process has iterated through each of the relationship tables for each of the child files listed in the "next list" until there are no longer any files listed in the "next list" and the process terminates at step 510.
[0029] From the user experience perspective, when an action is initiated on a file, such as when a file is copied, moved or attached to an e-mail, the file system within the computer extracts the header information from the file to obtain the extended attributes for the file. As part of this "open-to-learn" action, the extended attributes in the file's relationship table are examined to see if there is relationship to other co-requisite files within the system. If there is such a relationship, the names of the co-requisite files for the file are saved in temporary memory. The requested action is then performed on the original file. Thereafter, the temporary file of co-requisite files is used to perform the action on all co-requisite files that permit the action to be performed through this co-requisite action process.
[0030] In an alternative embodiment, the management of co-requisite files in accordance with principles of the invention may be implemented as a computer program-product for use with the computer system 100. The programs defining the functions of the preferred embodiment can be delivered to the computer system 100 and/or to the peripheral device for installation on a connected adapter via a variety of signal-bearing media or computer readable storage media, which include, but are not limited to: (a) information permanently stored on non-writable storage media, e.g., read only memory devices within either computer such as CD-ROM disks readable by CD-ROM; (b) alterable information stored on writable storage media, e.g., floppy disks within a diskette drive or a hard-disk drive; or (c) information conveyed to a computer by a telephone or a cable media network, including wireless communications. Such signal-bearing media, when carrying instructions that may be read by an adapter or a computer to direct the functions of the present invention, represent alternative embodiments. In the alternative, the function of figures could be implemented by control circuitry through the use of logic gate, programmable logic devices, or other hardware components in lieu of a processor-based system.
[0031] While the invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to a preferred embodiment, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and detail may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

Cannes line-up reveals talent from Flanders

Various other films in the Festival's line-up also feature talent from Flanders, while several (co-)productions with Flanders fly the flag in the Marché du Film.
Invited for the Festival's Short Film Competition, Jan and Raf Roosens's short film Copain is about Fré, a teenager trapped between his conservative, wealthy parents and his working-class friends. Paradise, by Laura Vandewynckel, tells a story about people heading for a better place on different sides of the ocean; the stop-motion film is set to première as part of the Cinéfondation.
Seven Flemish productions to screen at Athens, Ohio
The 42nd annual Athens International Film + Video Festival kicked off on April 3 with seven Flemish productions in its line-up. Selected films include Alidor Dolfing's Wien for Life; A Handful by Katrien Vermeire; and Olivier Vanden Bussche's animated short To Build a Fire.
An Vrombaut, author of the successful British animated series 64 Zoo Lane, will be in Athens with The Tie. The short animation film tells the story of the chance meeting between a small giraffe and a tall one. Despite their obvious difference in stature, they discover a kinship.
Bad Hunter picks up fifth trophy
Sahim Omar Kalifa's short film Bad Hunter has won the award for the Best International Short Film at the 31st International Love Film Festival in Mons, Belgium (20-27 February). The award marks the fifth international acknowledgement for Bad Hunter.
Since its release in August, Bad Hunter has picked up five awards. It premiered at the Montreal World Film Festival, where it won the Jury Award for Best Short Film. At the Valladolid International Film Festival it went on to pick up the Silver Spike, followed by the Jury Prize in Dubai and the Special Jury Award for best International Short at Australia's Flickerfest.
Four out of five for Kalifa's Bad Hunter
Sahim Omar Kalifa's latest short film Bad Hunter has won the Special Jury Award for Best International Short at the Flickerfest International Short Film Festival in Sydney, Australia (9-18 January). Since its international premiere, Bad Hunter has screened at five international festivals and won awards at four of them.
The film tells the story of 19-year-old Bahoz, who regularly goes into the mountains to hunt but catches very little. Today, however, will change his life for ever.
Sahim Omar Kalifa's shorts keep on scoring
Sahim Omar Kalifa's short film Bad Hunter has won the Jury Prize in the Muhr Short Film Competition at this year's Dubai International Film Festival (10-17 December). It's the third international award for Kalifa's newest film, while his previous short Baghdad Messi continues its awards spree.
The Jury Prize comes with a sum of 25,000 AED (about $7,000) and is number three in the film's awards tally. Bad Hunter previously won a Jury Award at the Montreal World Film Festival, where it premiered last summer; and picked up a Silver at Spike Valladolid. In January, the film is confirmed to screen at Australia's Oscar-qualifying Flickerfest.

Why build your own Linux-based quick-boot OS when you can just snatch one up for someone else? That seems to be the philosophy with HP, which will grab the HyperSpace software from Phoenix for about $12 million, Phoenix said.
Like other quick-booting OSes, HyperSpace is built around Linux and loads within a few seconds. HyperSpace, Splashtop, and other similar software are ideal for users who want to quickly surf the web, fire off an email, view an image, or perform other basic tasks in a hurry without waiting for Windows to load, which can take up to several minutes, depending on how old the machine is and what shape it's in.
In addition to the OS, HP will also buy the assets surrounding HyperCore, an embedded hypervisor that allows HyperSpace to run certain core services along with the Windows OS, Networkworld.com reports. Phoenix expects to close the transaction by the end of the month.

Haejung Lee's Bizarre TendenciesIllustration // Thursday, January 23, 2014
Toronto-based artist Haejung Lee explains, "My obsession with documentation is reflected in my artistic practice. I make art because I want to, but more importantly, I make art because I feel the need to. It is like I'm rushing to write something down on a piece of paper before I forget, before the rushing of the blood or thumping of the heart fades away and disappears completely..."

The Type FightDesign // Thursday, January 23, 2014
In the design world competition is a constant, you're always competing with your peers and even yourself to do better. The Type Fight took a more light hearted approach to competition by pitting designers against each other and letting you decide who is best. The only constants are the letterforms each designer must turn into a typographic master piece. The Type Fight's counter part, aptly named the Heavyweight Print Shop, sell each of the master pieces that are chosen for cool 20 bucks, which isn't bad because they're only producing 25 of each.
"Elephant Boy in Rabbitcity" by AmebaFishIllustration // Wednesday, January 22, 2014
AmebaFish is a Korean comic illustrator. He captures the high energy streets of Namyangju, South Korea in a bright and playful way. I was instantly drawn in by the colors and style of this series. Elephant Boy feels like a loner in a city full of rabbits but in the end, he is rescued by a strange, robot-elephant diety. Check it out.

Vija Celmins was born in Riga, Latvia, in 1938. She immigrated to the United States with her family when she was ten years old, settling in Indiana. She received a BFA from the John Herron Institute in Indianapolis, and later earned her MFA in painting from the University of California, Los Angeles. Celmins received international attention early on for her renditions of natural scenes—often copied from photographs that lack a point of reference, horizon, or discernable depth of field.

Ze Otavio does what most artists loathe to do--he doesn't clean up. Rather than obsess over the perfection of lines and erasures, Otavio embraces the sketchy nature of his initial strokes and trusts the energetic purity of "keeping things messy." He was born in Brazil and works in Sao Paolo, channeling his studies in photography and life drawing into his illustrations. He finds his sketchbooks to be where most of the magic happens, unafraid to use tape, splatters and graphite to achieve a beautifully raw effect.

NEW YORK (AP) - CEO Mark Zuckerberg's talk of Facebook's mobile prospects and his acknowledgment that the company cares about making money as well as making the world "more open and connected" lifted the battered shares of the social networking icon on Wednesday.
On Tuesday, Zuckerberg spoke at a tech conference in San Francisco in his first interview since Facebook's rocky initial public offering in May. The stock has lost roughly half its value since the IPO. On Wednesday it gained $1.50, or 7.7 percent, to close at $20.93, still 45 percent below its IPO price of $38.
"He explained past missteps and challenges related to mobile and provided reasons for related optimism," wrote S&P Capital IQ equity analyst Scott Kessler in a note to investors. "In addition, Zuckerberg expressed disappointment related to the IPO and stock price, but indicated (that Facebook) cares about its shareholders, and that the company has had its share of ups and downs over the years."
Some on Wall Street had been questioning Zuckerberg's ability to lead a large public company. But the 28-year-old seemed to reassure investors during his half-hour appearance, where he appeared at ease in front of an audience of Silicon Valley bloggers, journalists, developers and others. He also signaled that Facebook will likely intensify its rivalry with Google Inc. by getting into the search business.
As it is, Facebook already processes about 1 billion search requests a day, Zuckerberg said, "and we basically are not even trying."
A more robust search engine "would be one obvious, interesting thing for us to do in the future," he said during an interview with blogger-turned venture capitalist Michael Arrington. Arrington is the founder of technology blog TechCrunch, which put on the conference.
Jefferies analyst Brian Pitz said Facebook's plans to enter the search business at some point are a good thing. But he adds that he "won't get too excited" until there are more details.
"Facebook already has a team in place working on search, which is not surprising given the company sees so many daily queries," the analyst wrote. "But monetization will take time and we think the relatively narrow scope of Facebook's search limits overlap with (Google), for now."

Have you heard of the Bokashi Bin? It's an indoor composting system that sounds ideal for busy parents of young children. The product makes the following amazing claims:
- It can handle meat, dairy, bones, and produce scraps!
- It's odorless
- It's small 5 gallon bin will easily fit in your kitchen. (The company recommends buying two so that after one fills up you can let it sit for ten days while you fill up the second, always rotating back and forth.)
- The "tea" or liquid runoff it produces comes out of a handy spigot at the bottom and is great for your garden or houseplants.
- Food breaks down to a "compost product" that can be dumped outside in just ten days. (Apparently it's the texture of hummus and smells pleasant!)

has anyone else heard this band?
has anyone else heard this band?
"why are you so annoying" TheKlein25
Okay, so I first heard of this band because they were playing the "Night Dive" at the Long Beach aquarium and I started to investigate them. I like the fact they wear very odd masks and police officer uniforms and play really old synthesizers so everything has to be live. I finally saw them live for the first time the other night at the Redwood. Even though there name is odd I do like them.
And I they have an interesting music video with Amanda Cerny.
He is still gone, this is a bumped post from almost 2 years ago.

Statistical deconvolution of enthalpic energetic contributions to MHC-peptide binding affinity

2 School of Crystallography, Birkbeck College, London WC1E 7HX, UK
3 Structural and Computational Chemistry Group, University of Reading, Reading RG6 6AH, UK
BMC Structural Biology 2006, 6:5 doi:10.1186/1472-6807-6-5Published: 20 March 2006
MHC Class I molecules present antigenic peptides to cytotoxic T cells, which forms an integral part of the adaptive immune response. Peptides are bound within a groove formed by the MHC heavy chain. Previous approaches to MHC Class I-peptide binding prediction have largely concentrated on the peptide anchor residues located at the P2 and C-terminus positions.
A large dataset comprising MHC-peptide structural complexes was created by re-modelling pre-determined x-ray crystallographic structures. Static energetic analysis, following energy minimisation, was performed on the dataset in order to characterise interactions between bound peptides and the MHC Class I molecule, partitioning the interactions within the groove into van der Waals, electrostatic and total non-bonded energy contributions.
The QSAR techniques of Genetic Function Approximation (GFA) and Genetic Partial Least Squares (G/PLS) algorithms were used to identify key interactions between the two molecules by comparing the calculated energy values with experimentally-determined BL50 data. Although the peptide termini binding interactions help ensure the stability of the MHC Class I-peptide complex, the central region of the peptide is also important in defining the specificity of the interaction. As thermodynamic studies indicate that peptide association and dissociation may be driven entropically, it may be necessary to incorporate entropic contributions into future calculations.

Re: My Trek Through Enterprise: Season One
You're kinder than me about Aquisition... "Hey let's do a Ferengi episode." "But they weren't introduced to the Federation until TNG time." "Who cares about details, it'll be cool!"
And that sums up a lot of Enterprise at times. Of course it is perfectly concievable Archer just didn't keep records of random aliens who attacked his ship that Data couldn't have looked up a 100 years later. But then people get mad at me for saying he would be that incompitent.
Oasis... wasn't terribly inspiring, but nothing too bad about it either. I could poke fun at how ineffective future weapons are. Reed gets shot in this episode with no ill effect. This happens quite often in Trek, but this is countered by seeing Rene Auberjonois on screen again, which is always good.
